URL Rewrite in wordpress on plesk for windows

Problem: When we install wordpress on windows with plesk, URL rewrite does not work as expected. It gives 404 error.

Solution: Create a web.config file with following code





<configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax = "Wildcard"> <match url="*" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType = "IsFile" negate = "true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType = "IsDirectory" negate = "true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> </system.webServer> </configuration>

Place it in your root directory. Woha problem solved...
